Crash Course: GDPR Compliance

Tags: Entrepreneurship

This Crash Course helps startups understand and develop compliance strategies for The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR took effect in late May 2018. GDPR regulations are far reaching in ambition with respect to data collection and personal information. They mandate compliance from businesses that operate in EU member states or serve individuals in the EU. Yet surveys reflect that there is considerable confusion among businesses about the GDPR. Sorting out GDPR issues can be especially difficult for startups with limited access to legal and compliance resources.

In this Crash Course, experts will help startups navigate questions associated with the GDPR, including:

  • the scope of companies covered by the GDPR
  • expected monitoring of U.S. startups for GDPR compliance
  • how startups can comply with GDPR requirements
  • possible consequences of non-compliance
